I am looking for a user group in the Chicago area. If I could find something in the Wheaton area, that would be great. However, I would be willing to drive across the city if I found a worthwhile group. Anyone know of a group?

Have you found any interest out there? I am moving to Carol Stream in about a month and would love to be part of a Lisp user group, although we might benefit with a group larger than 2. Let me know if you have any info on area lugs or want to organize something ourselves.

Too bad something isn't something already established. I am okay with meeting downtown. I guess if there is only the two of us, meeting up will just be us showing each other what we have been working on lately. What dialects do you use and how do you use them? I use Common Lisp (more or less exclusively) for scientific computation while I am in grad school, but end up working a lot of other projects (https://github.com/smithzvk) since my physics research is very boring to me after all of these years.
